    Error Running WS2812B LED Examples

    If you receive the following error indicating that board was not recognized when using the adafruit Python Package, it has something to do with the Python version that you are using:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "ws2812b_leds_Ex1.py", line 2, in <module>
          import board
    ImportError: No module named board
    

    Make sure that you set your IDE up to use python3 specifically when trying to run the LED examples from the editor or CLI.

    I was using the Geany IDE to modify some code when I received the error above. Simply, head to Tools > Set Build Commands in the menu. Then edit the Execute command by changing the following command:

    python "%f"
    

    to

    python3  "%f"
    

    Then click the OK button to save the changes.

    Looks like fbtft_device has been removed from linux as of 5.4, so the lcd screen will no longer work with the current instructions.

      We have updated the tutorial to adjust for the changes.

    Problems with the WM8690. Problems with the buttons, maybe some hardware problems because the software example 1 & 2 should work. I ordered two hats so i will test the second one tomorrow
